Recruitment Agencies

Thank you for your interest in Oxford Genetics. We operate a scientific partnership agency scheme, sharing access to an insightful level of company information and hiring cycles, to provide the best overall experience for our partnership recruitment agencies and our future employees.

We review our partnership agency panel when necessary and during our annual review in the Spring. Should you wish to be considered, please submit your company information with clear terms and conditions to recruitment@oxgene.com and we will contact you should we need to or if you are shortlisted at our next annual review. By sending us your company information, you are asking us to hold your data on file and understand that we will only keep it for as long as we need it to ensure it is up-to-date and to comply with the Data Protection Act.

Unsolicited CV’s will be deleted. Adding us to a marketing e-mail / telephone list, approaching company employees directly and/or persistent requests for telephone call discussions and/or meetings, will result in your agency being removed for consideration from our scheme.

If we require additional assistance for specific positions outside our partnership recruitment agency scheme, we will contact recruitment agencies to work with us at that time.
